Things do change and some of it is hard, but it is overwhelmingly wonderful. I have also seen a different side of my boys with their sister and it is heartwarming!!!!<BR/>Daddy still made sure that he taught her the basics - daddy and touchdown (with hands in the air)- both being said before Mommy which he thinks is great!!!!! :)TheOilHippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12089220789250402934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248348890399463334.post-63829395925974722942008-01-27T10:00:00.000-08:002008-01-27T10:00:00.000-08:00Dear Lucy,I am choked up reading this final blog y...Dear Lucy,<BR/><BR/>I am choked up reading this final blog your mom posted before her and your dad make the final trip to bring you home. You have so many people who already love you so much, and are praying for you and your family. We have followed your adventure in Guatemala, and have waited for this final step -- to bring you home!! Although the transition might not be easy, you have two big brothers who will look after you and play games with you and always make you laugh; you have a dad who will sing songs to you and provide an amazing example of how to serve God in your life; and you have a mom who has loved you and longed for you before you were even born. She will show you how to be a woman of God. The McMurray family will never be the same after this weekend, in a good way... they will finally be complete! God has chosen you to be a part of this amazing family, and to add your own personal touch as a McMurray. <BR/><BR/>Don't be too alarmed by the snow and freezing weather. Spokane is definitely not Guatemala, but I promise it warms up in the summer time and we can go play at the lake. And besides, all the adorable winter clothes are on sale at Baby Gap right now. Good timing on your part! :)<BR/><BR/>We love you, and are anxiously waiting to finally meet you! Welcome home!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Whitney & JordanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248348890399463334.post-58570579969884126862008-01-26T22:02:00.000-08:002008-01-26T22:02:00.000-08:00I think it's natural to have all kinds of emotions...I think it's natural to have all kinds of emotions running through--sadness for those you're "leaving behind" etc.--just remember, God is in control of Lucy's path. Everyone plays a different part--some roles have come to an end, or taken on a new direction, it is now your turn to guide her moving forward. You have been chosen for this role because of what you will provide Lucy. I am certain one of the reasons is because Keagan and Kinkade will be the most wonderful brothers she could have. There role will change too--but there is no doubt in my mind, it will be even better than you can imagine! We love you, have a safe trip.

Continue to trust Him and know that our prayers are with you guys and we join the many out there who want to share in your joy and are priveleged to be praying for you all. Big hugs to you guys! ~The Boggs Family. P.S. Darcy, I TOTALLY can relate to those feelings you've been having about how adding a new child to the family might somehow short-change the love you have for the boys. I had those same thoughts before Maggie came along pertaining to Jack. The family dynamics and much more, do change, but for the better... and I can say whole-heartedly that it is worth every single bit of the challenge to be as intentional as we can be, and trust God that our love is multiplied over n' over n' over again. No need to worry, you'll have plenty to go around - and it's the biggest blessing to watch the love grow between Lucia and the boys too. ;)The Boggs Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146679075517467148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248348890399463334.post-19022236131181602012008-01-26T13:06:00.000-08:002008-01-26T13:06:00.000-08:00Darcy and Aaron--I just cried as I read your last ...Darcy and Aaron--I just cried as I read your last post--such an amazing journey and the road ahead has so many more twists and turns, highs and lows--wow--parenthood is an adventure. I will keep everyone in my prayers, her foster family, her forever family and her birth mother, who made an amazing sacrifice for sweet Lucia. God will provide all that each of you need--we are so excited to meet that sweet little baby girl.

Darcy, when it comes to love God gives parents the gift of multiplication, never division. Your boys will not lose any part of you by you loving and giving time to Lucy - in fact they will get more of the multiplying love flying around. Don't feel guilty about taking Lucy home - that incredible Foster family will always love her, but they never signed up to care for her for a lifetime. Not many people have the special gifts needed to be foster parents again and again - but they have it - and God will bless them for it. Have a wonderful trip and enjoy every minute of it. <BR/><BR/>Kathy and TomKathy Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128006842115448669noreply@blogger.com
